EDIT : "When i say customer i say talend customer. So talend users:) "

Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade talend 4.2.2 to 5.0.1 but i wanted to know a little bit more about it from the "customer" point of view (not from a talend operator or commercial).

Is it worth it ? Talend 4.2.2 is working fine minus a few bugs and a not really practical TAC (but it's working fine).

Can anyone tells me what changed ? What is good and what is bad ?

Thx a lot

I'm gonna list a few things that are "bad" in 4.2.2 but that don't mean i'm not happy about talend. That's a few things that i want to know if they're gone in the 5.0.1 version.


EDIT :
A few things that are bothering me on TIS 4.2.2

- Sometimes the TalendString class is not found in a job. I have to right click "setup routines dependencies" and re-check all of the classes. And sometimes the routine dependencies menu doesn't show and i must restart talend to make my job work again.
- When exporting a job on Unix/Linux i must export it in Windows&linux format or else it doesn't work on linux. I get a main class issue. But when exporting in Windows+Linux mode it works. But my jobs are quite heavy (because there is two version of them).
- Sometimes i have a "null pointer exception" error that appear on the screen and talend get completly paralyzed. It doesn't happens a lot. But just sometimes (i get it once a month. Sometimes less).

A few things that are bothering me on TAC
- When you create a job, TAC doesn't show the folder you create on TIS. So if you have two jobs in TIS in two seperate folder with the same name, TAC is not really happy about it
- tSplitRow cannot be exported to TAC (it generates an error) but it's working fine on TIS or when i export it and use the sh.
- You can't create CRON with the same name in two different jobs.

I guess that's all.
